There are plenty of rumors that Devitt is WWE-bound soon, but nothing is official as of yet. Devitt is one of the top international talents around, isn't "too small" (at 5'11" and 180 pounds, he's slightly taller than Daniel Bryan and weighs about as much as Bryan does in real life), can work numerous "styles", and can help to promote the product in other countries (Devitt is from Ireland and trained in England, while also being a big star in Japan and Mexico). Devitt is a very good heel that does the little things to get his character over, from in-ring facial expressions to his body language. That's not to say he can't cut a promo, because he certainly can. He's a rare "total package" of work in today's wrestling world. There was a time when someone like Devitt would never have even been looked at by WWE management, but with the success of people the size of Daniel Bryan and CM Punk, and with the success of international talent like Sheamus and Wade Barrett, things have changed.
